Kids heading back to class? I want to remind you about JanSport’s excellent lifetime warranty on its backpacks, which I regret not knowing when my kids were little demolition crews. You’ll pay a bit more for a JanSport backpack, but the San Leandro company guarantees it for life. Anything goes wrong, ship it back and they’ll fix it, refund or replace it. Reader Jennifer Anthony can vouch for this, she told me recently that she returned a backpack that had developed a hole, and they sent her a new one. Other readers have repeated the same.
